I don't know who the builder is, but that wood looks very nice. (the guitar too.... wow.)   

Is that Larry Robinson's inlay work?Brock Poling38449.4275

I even got to play a couple of his guitars. They are incredibly big and full sounding. Lance I'm just gonna give a little hint. He has something in common with our benifactor here.

AG mag[/QUOTE] Yep but I can't remember who and I'm at work and can't go though my stash

Brock the inlay does look like LR's work at least in spired by Larry.

To me it looks like something Howard Klemper would do, but I know it is not him. It definitely is one of THE most beautiful guitars I have ever seen!

I was going to venture a guess earlier on, but figured I'd wait.

Okay Lance, give me your email address so I can tell you where to send my prize

When I visited him he told me that he builds about 30 guitars per year, all in a 2 car garage shop. He is very well organized and in my opinion he does incredible work.
